Checking out the infrared capability of the Nikon Coolpix 990, 25 November 2022

I’ve been suffering from GAS again. This time it’s this unusual looking camera, the Nikon Coolpix 990 from 2000. I actually wanted the first of this range of cameras, the 900, for the #ShittyCameraChallenge #1990sCameraChallenge but I couldn’t find it. So this one will have to do (and I’m actually very happy with it). Of

Out with the modded Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 for some digital infrared, 10 November 2022

It’s been a while since I have been able to take some digital infrared photographs, but this morning the weather was ideal. 

Street photography in the only street in Fetais, 23 August 2022

A recent Twitter poll was asking about street photography, which encouraged me to get out in Fetais with the full-spectrum Lumix  and the Urth IR filter. Now, where’s that street again? http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/street-photography-in-only-street-in.html

Went a little full-spectrum crazy today, 12 August 2022

Out early in Meco this morning for some IR with the modified Lumix  and the Urth IR filter. However, I decided to dispense with the filter and just go ‘commando’. These full-spectrum shots came out really nice. I think I need to fiddle with the colour channels to get more of an ‘aerochrome’ look (and

Revisiting some old favourites under clear skies, 12 August 2022

Of course, although I went full-spectrum the plan was always to take some infrared photographs with the Lumix DMC-TZ8 and the Urth IR filter. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/revisiting-some-old-favourites-under.html

When a plan doesn’t quite come together, 08 August 2022

After a mixed start the sun came out and I took the chance to pop out to revisit a few places in Fetais near Meco with the full-spectrum Lumix  and the Urth IR filter. Unfortunately, as soon as I went out the clouds rolled in leaving a hazy and  cloudy day. Still, I persisted and

Urban infrared photography in Meco, 04 August 2022

After a cloudy start the sun eventually cleared to leave a decently sunny day. So it was a chance to pop out to explore Meco with the full-spectrum Lumix  and the Urth IR filter. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/urban-infrared-photography-in-meco-04.html

A foggy start to the day, 1 August 2022

After a glorious week, we woke up Monday morning to a really thick fog. The area around Meco exists as a microclimate, and while the rest of the country was basking (!?) in up to 40°C heat here it did not get much over the mid twenties Celsius. However, it was a grand opportunity to

Urban infrared photography in Águas Boas, 03 July 2022

It was a lovely sunny day, and a chance to ‘test drive’ my new Urth IR filter.

Infrared cloudscapes, 04 June 2022

Between rainstorms I took the opportunity to take some rubbish to the bin (here there are large communal bins rather than individual bins for each house) and noticed clouds behind the neighbours’ orchard.  I grabbed a quick photo on my phone but just knew it would be a treat in infrared.  I took a few

Full spectrum urban photography, 10 May 2022

Discovered a neat trick with the Full spectrum Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 today. Set the camera on ‘cool’ mode and images have this lovely false colour appearance in full spectrum.

Digital infrared with the modded Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8, 06 May 2022

After the full spectrum modification of the Lumix DMC-TZ8, I took it out for a test drive with the Hoya 720nm IR filter. On the whole I was delighted with the quality of the infrared images created. 

The fire break, 24 April 2022

The local authority cut a fire break through the woodland to minimise the risk of wildfires spreading. Infrared photograph with modified Canon Powershot A1400 and 720nm Infrared filter.

Digital infrared with the modded A1400, 06 April 2022

Popped out to the shops today and as it was lovely and clear I thought, why not take the Powershot A1400 and do some digital infrared?

Digital infrared on a windy day, 01 April 2022

After a cloudy start it turned into a clear but windy day. Still, it was an opportunity to take out the DSLR and R72 filter for some infrared photography.

Experiments with Infrared, 18 March 2022

I’ve been wanting to dabble with infrared (IR) photography for a while. The last time was in the early 1980s, with Kodak’s famous infrared film, but that’s not been available for a long time. I bought a little Canon digital to turn into a full-spectrum camera (more about that soon) but in the meantime I

#shittycamerachallenge — Afternoon in the park, 7 January 2022

Finally have the images back from our afternoon in the park with Diana F+ for the #ShittyCameraChallenge. My attempts at image stacking were a dismal failure, mind.

Afternoon in the park, 7 January 2022

Out in Oiã with the Diana F+ for the #shittycamerachallenge, we went to the town’s park. These photos are similar to the ones we will hopefully get next week when the film is developed.

Intentional Camera Movement, 12 December 2021

With the sun low in the sky it shone through some golden autumn leaves. Perfect conditions for experimenting with intentional camera zoom.
